| Unemployment - Number of days of entitlement to payment per month |
 |
|
|
The unemployment benefit is a daily benefit paid on condition that the unemployed person reports to the Employment Service Bureau on the days and hours that he is instructed to do so. The number of days for which the unemployment benefit is paid may change from month to month, depending on the number of possible work days in that month, and they do not include Shabbats or holidays. An unemployed person who reports as required in the course of a month will receive payment for all the possible work days in that month.
Still, the number of unemployment days to be paid may be reduced.
For the first 5 days of unemployment in each period of 4 consecutive months, no unemployment benefits are paid. However, your entitlement to the maximum period of benefit payment remains the same.
Unemployment benefit is paid for days of mourning and 30 days of sick leave which occurred during the unemployment period; for the first 2 sick days, no unemployment benefit is paid unless the illness continues for at least 12 consecutive days. The unemployed person must provide the placement clerk at the Employment Service Bureau with certification of his illness from an authorized medical institution. A person participating in vocational training must provide the medical authorization to the training center in which he is studying.
